Being "glutened"

I am wondering if you can share with me what it feels like to be "glutened" or what sort of signs/symptoms does your child display when this has happened to them?

Thanks!

When I get glutened:

Big D within a 1/2 hr to an hour

irratable

can't concentrate

brain fog

big D will stop within a few hours, but the rest last for atleast a few days and depending on how bad for up to a week. This is all based on accidently getting glutened or CC'd one time, not continously!

Good Luck to you!

Hi

My son knows within half an hour also. I think it must be as soon as the gluten hits the small bowel.

He gets nauseated, pale. Depending on how much gluten he will go the the bathroom shortly after. he stays nauseated for several hours. Then he adds that food to his DON'T EAT list!

Well, I believe that I got glutened tonight. I made PB cookies, and I think that I am getting a reaction to peanuts...been sick the last few times I ate them. About 1/3 I was bloated and looser stool...not D but it has since past. I know that Peanuts are not Gluten, but that would have caused my to not tolerate them as I never had problems before. Hope that helps.

my dear daughter, 2 and 9 months, gets a reaction with in the hour, goes all pale and a real pain in the neck!! (excuse me for being so blunt!!) she moans and groans and i feel bad for anyone who comes in to visit us ;) She gets really sore in the diaper area, to the point that she is scared to make anything because it stings her so much... she cries when she makes - it must be really painful for her, poor kid!! (just by the way, does anyone know if it gets easier once she is toilet trained? can't afford the diapers for two kids anymore B) )She also gets this really pinched look about her face, it seems like it shrinks in size and that she loses all her fat that i worked so hard for her to gain :D

my dd has a reaction within about 1-2 hours of being glutened. She gets a tummy ache, has to go potty and passes large white stools. For the next 24-48 hours she is a nightmare, cranky, irritable, defiant, clingy, just all around out of sorts. She also gets very pale and develops large purple circles under her eyes.

My son is one of those with a more delayed reaction. His doesn't begin until 12-24 hours after the glutening. Then his symptoms are:

*Dark circles under eyes

*Diarrhea and stomach pains, cramps

*Extreme emotions, grouchiness, meltdowns

*Difficulty concentrating, focusing, paying attention

*Much more likely to have an accident in his pants (He's almost 7 :( )

The worst of the symptoms lasts 24 hours, and then he'll have reduced symptoms for another day or two.

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.
